lyrics

This Is Our Time
Words & Music by RK Watson

These are hard times
The greed of the few put a match to the glue
That held it together
Through stormy weather
This is our time
No money to pay so we’ll take yours away
In their castles they toast
Who has taken the most

These are hard times
The politicians chock while everything’s broke
As they sit in their towers
And while away our hours
This is our time
To young you lack the training he’s too old for retaining
There’s a man across the sea
Better value, smaller fee

The banker counts his dollars
And then he hems and hollers
You must pay the fee
Of this free market economy
He wants us to trust
And contribute to his lust
As he fills his day
With leading us astray

These are hard times
Push the money to the top and let the middle drop
Knock you of the ladder
To make those profits fatter
This is our time
Those behind the curtain keep us all uncertain
As we rise for their bait
Their pulling the strings of our fate

Our profits are grand, but
Surely can understand
You are no longer required
Since we’ve been acquired
Your dreams are trashed
Since the economy crashed
They have blurred what is right
And brought us this blight
